World renowned artist, Faith Ringgold, has passed, leaving behind a powerful legacy of art. She was New York's own, and so many of the article below will come from New York Museums, and how her art had an impact. I have included the lessons from the various art institutions with an emphasis on The New York Times Learning Network, which has both a local and national perspective on Ringgold's considerable body of work.
The New York Times Learning Network has origins to MoMA's original Visual Thinking Curriculum (VTC) which has undergone a number of incarnations. I had the privilege of helping to launch the initial VTC so the questioning techniques and strategies are those I always enjoyed.
